[QUOTE="Manzanita, post: 1296750, member: 10109"] [b]The stranger[/b] "We were attacked early last night. We were just about ready to turn in for the night, when I heard the guards call out. I grabbed my weapons, but one glance told me we had no chance. There were too many of them. I just ran. I speared one on my way out. I ran until I couldn't run anymore, then I lay down and hid in some bushes. Eventually I must have fallen asleep. When I awoke it was already midafternoon. I got up and started heading towards Sevastopol as best as I could. I must admit, I may well have been going the wrong way. It's possible they would follow me, but unlikely I think. There was slaves and supplies there for the taking without pursuing one man. I can't necessarily even lead you back there. I could try. Perhaps we'll see in the morning." "You work for a merchant consortium, eh? Which one? That's great, in any case. Rome needs to expand in this direction. There's lots of wealth here. Farmland, forests and mines. And no real organized oposition as far as I can tell. These orcs we encountered were somewhat primitive. No match for a legion, I can tell you that. Perhaps some of you would be interested in hearing about the local archeology. I'm all wound up & slept most of the day, so I wouldnt' be able to go to sleep at the moment. Don't let me keep you all up, though. I'm so glad I found you. Thanks for your hospitality." [i]I'll assume you are all unarmored now, except for Brioc, who was on watch. Let me know if you plan on sleeping in armor, or any other precautions you are taking or will be regularly taking.[/i] [/QUOTE]
